A stylish blend of original features and modern amenities make this converted barn a fabulous destination for couples or small families. It’s set in a beautiful location by a reservoir, with walks nearby for your furry friend, and is just 8 miles from the stunning beaches of the North Devon coast.

This gorgeous cottage has been carefully designed with an emphasis on comfort as well as good looks. A huge glazed door leads you into the open-plan living space, a magnificent room with a vaulted ceiling and imposing exposed beams, where you’ll find retro-style seating, a dining table for four and a Freeview TV. The handsome kitchen, tucked at one end, is equipped with everything necessary for easy holiday cooking. The cheerful twin bedroom is also on the ground floor, along with a family bathroom that boasts a lovely free-standing bath, as well as a separate shower. On the mezzanine level, with sloping ceilings and more of those old oak beams, you’ll find a charming double bedroom. Your private and enclosed courtyard, perfect for pups, has a dining table and chairs so you can enjoy special meals together in the open air, perhaps grilling some local produce on the BBQ. And if you’re feeling energetic, head over to the shared games room, where you can play table tennis or giant Connect 4.

On the edge of the serene Wistlandpound Reservoir, this superb property is just 1 mile outside Exmoor National Park and its array of walking trails. Numerous beaches are within 20 miles, including Combe Martin, popular for kayaking and paddleboarding, and Woolacombe, known for its surfing waves. And if you feel like some retail therapy or excellent local food, the historic market town of Barnstaple is 9.5 miles, and Ilfracombe is 11.5 miles.

Lovely farm setting not too far off the beaten track and close to a nice evening walk around the reservoir. The hosts were extremely friendly as were their animals. I would recommend!
